1. Brief History and Scope of the Subject
An algorithm is a recipe or a systematic method containing a sequence of instructions to solve a
computational problem. It takes some inputs, performs a well defined sequence of steps, and
produces some output. Once we design an algorithm, we need to know how well it performs on
any input. In particular we would like to know whether there are better algorithms for the
problem. An answer to this first demands a way to analyze an algorithm in a machineindependent way. Algorithm design and analysis form a central theme in computer science.
Advanced topics in Algorithms include a study of randomized algorithms (where an algorithm
can make some careful random choices and one is interested in the expected runtime of the
algorithm, as opposed to the worst case) and parallel algorithms (where the algorithm can make
use of several available processors simultaneously).
